Why aren't there more double screen devices for academic readers?

The more I look at what the market offers now, the less faith I have in finding appropiate ebook readers for the academic sector. Even if they managed to get it straight with formatting, they're still hard to use for power reading (i.e reading cross-referenced texts, texts with hyperlinks, embedded graphical material alongside text...).

In fact, the only device I've seen that appears to be really trying to fill this space is the Entourage Edge. However, it appears to be quite unknown even in its niche market. What do double screen readers need to go conquer a high-income market as university professors should be? Or is there another idea that would be feasible for them?
